18 yr. old female young star, Charice Pempengco joins Glee on their 2nd season!

“It’s official. I’m on Glee (next season) but (there is a) story behind it,” Pempengco tweeted.

EW has confirmed the 18-year-old singing superstar will play a “foreign exchange student whose killer vocals get Rachel (Lea Michele) contemplating murder.”

Charice made her own name in “Little Big Star” which is a local TV show here in the Philippines. The videos were spread over the net and caught the interest of US TV shows like Oprah. Since then, she has been a favorite of Oprah, Ellen and her hit song “Pyramid” is on top of the billboard charts!

She is also scheduled to sing the national anthem at the inauguration of Philippine President-elect Benigno Aquino on June 30.
